Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: To compare pregnancy rates and implantation rates when embryos are selected based on a single Day 3 (D.3) score vs. a GES score plus sHLA-G expression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Comparing pregnancy rates and implantation rates when embryos are selected using the most common criteria for embryo selection on day 3 - the morphology-(number of blastomere, their shape and size and the percentage of fragmentation)vs a graduated embryo score accumulated over 72 hours and the expression of sHLA-G at 44-46 hours post fertilization.
